Revenge of the Fallen, Anyone else Dislike?

[shokwave2]

I think everyone has to remember that this film was made for everyone to enjoy, not just the fans. The average person would see this as an action film with a bit of humour thrown in and will probably walk away satisfied. While hardcore fans will point out continuity errors, lack of character development and differences with the cartoon's storyline. As a transformer fan you have to at least be happy this film was made. If it wasn't we'd be whinging alot more.

ROTF for ever

ROTF for ever

Actually I think its the other way around.

I walked away mildly satisfied, with a big grin on my face. My friends however, who's TF knowledge consists only of the occasional snippet they pick up from one of my rants, walked away horribly confused and disorientated. Two of them professed that they preferred the first one.

In fact after the obligatory post movie fish and chips, (over which there was much discussion of plot holes and lame humour) they spied my ROTF figs and decided to have a play. Apparently this was unanimously agreed amongst the group to be more fun than the movie itself.

Must admit, I was having a ball of a time watching them struggle with leader Prime. There were many curses and exclamations of needing "a bloody engineering degree to transform these things."
